[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new phone. It is so much faster than my A16. I am still learning all the features it has. I'm glad I chose Samsung A17 5G

Amazing Affordable Phone
on August 25, 2026
Posted by: Gen235
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed to get a new phone since my old Samsung A15 was malfunctioning. I chose the A17 as it was a fairly newer model at an amazing price. Many of its features are things I enjoy with the older Samsung Galaxy models. My favorite feature is the palm swipe screenshot. When I'm unable to screenshot the normal way or something happens to my home button that's my backup. I enjoy the newer way to turn off and restart my phone with just the button on the screen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this phone for relaibility and dependableness that's affordable at the palm of my hands. The ai feature on google search os phenomenal when you want to know something right at that moment without sacrificing too much time when busy. It definitely enhances the experience through other cellular features.

Absolutely Failure
on August 25, 2026
Posted by: ParrisChick
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just bring totally honest i actually chose this device because it was the newest addition to the Samsung galaxy brand and I am an absolute Samsung lover. I only choose phones by Samsung anytime I change up phones. I am honestly completely disappointed in this one. It is very slow in doing most everything I try to do on it. I just seems as if its behind or something. Also I have paid for unlimited wifi separate from my device and even when I use it as well as my phones data it still has a hard tome connecting to an internet connection. It also deleted some of my Google photos without my permission. I am not happy with this device at all. I have never owned another Samsung so disappointing.

Started off strong and slowly fell backwards!
on August 25, 2026
Posted by: Anonymous
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I choose a Samsung Galaxy A52 a couple of years ago and it was a very solid mid budget phone. Well sadly I broke that phone then went to an A16, wasn't great but did the job. Broke that phone, bought a Galaxy A17 5g and it did the job but still wasn't my A52...also broke that phone, sadly I wasn't doing well with funds so I just bought a A17 5g again because with my luck, phones, and water and the gravity my luck has ran out. I miss the A52 it ran better with just an extra 2gb of ram, never had issues. I'll hopefully get a Samsung Galaxy S something or another the last one I had over ten years ago was like an S 8 or something been a while.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been a fan of Samsung cell phones for years. I love the Galaxy model of phones the best. I chose the A17 when it first came out, and I haven't uploaded because I love the size of the phone. The only complaint I have with the Galaxy's is the fact that the screens are not durable at all. I've had to replace my screen on my phone a few different times even though my phone has a screen protector and a durable shock absorbent case and it's costly.
